Manual

5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the

operator.

6. When ripping always use a rip fence or

straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy

of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware

of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of

control.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade

washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt

were specially designed for your saw, for optimum

performance and safety of operation.

9. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:

− kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an

uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the

workpiece toward the operator;

− when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by

the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the

motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back

toward the operator;

− if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in

the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the

blade can dig into the top surface of the wood

causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and

jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions and

can be avoided by taking proper precautions as

given below.

• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the

saw and position your arms to resist

kickback forces. Position your body to

either side of the blade, but not in line with

the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to

jump backwards, but kickback forces can be

controlled by the operator, if proper

precautions are taken.

•

When blade is binding, or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, release

the trigger and hold the saw motionless in

the material until the blade comes to a

complete stop. Never attempt to remove

the saw from the work or pull the saw

backward while the blade is in motion or

kickback may occur.

Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of

blade binding.

• When restarting a saw in the workpiece,

centre the saw blade in the kerf and check

that saw teeth are not engaged into the

material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk

up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw

is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimise the risk

of blade pinching and kickback. Large

panels tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the panel on

both sides, near the line of cut and near the

edge of the panel.

To avoid kickback, do support

board or panel near the cut.

011398

Do not support board or

panel away from the cut.

•

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,

blade binding and kickback.

• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking

levers must be tight and secure before

making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while

cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

• Use extra caution when making a "plunge

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

10. Check lower guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate the saw if lower

guard does not move freely and close instantly.

Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the

Frequently Asked Questions about Makita SH01 Circular Saw

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

How many millimeter does the saw need to protrude under the material I'm sawing? Verified

It's best to keep this at 3mm or more. When it is less, there is a chance the material will crumble or lead to an ugly result.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a circular saw? Verified

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a circular saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
